We must all continue to work to keep peace in Ireland on the top of Americas foreign policy agenda today. as I and others wil do here In the Congress. While helping make America great. the Irish have never forgotten. from whence they proudly came. as anyone who has marched In. or witnessed the grand Saint Patricks Day parade down 5th Avenue In New York City each year. Today. more than 40 million Americans have ancestral links to Ireland. many as a result of the large immigration that followed the great famine. as well as the years before and after. that terrible and destructive human tragedy. This years Saint Patricks parade Grand Marshal is William Flynn the CEO of Mutual of America in New York City. He is a great man. duly deserving of this h.gh honor. who has dedicated himself to peace in Ireland. and has worked tirelessly to bring about lasting peace and justice. as have so many of his fellow Irish Americans.
